Dog Trainer and Dog walker
Pet care experience
I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer working for 2 other organizations and as a Dog Walker for Rover. I have experience working with a range of dogs from puppies to adults. I am well aware of dog body language and behaviors. My areas of expertise include puppy training, obedience, impulse control, leash walking, leash reactivity, prey drive control and teaching smart tricks using positive reinforcement. I use rewards, clicker and praise to train/walk your dogs.
Reviews
Radhika was great. She sent us updates during the day and did everything on schedule. Will definitely use her again.
Radhika is AMAZING! My pup Pepper is very reserved and he was instantly comfortable with her. Radhika is so thoughtful and pays attention to detail. I truly felt that he was in good hands when I leave him with her. Thank you so much Radhika for taking such great care of him.
Radhika is great! She is my go to person on busy work days for walking my dog
Radhika is amazing to say the least. She is a dog whisperer for sure and also a very thoughtful person. She kept Poppy super safe, healthy and even sent us pics through our trip. We are so grateful we got to meet Radhika. Poppy missed her already!

I recently lost my baby to bone cancer after fighting it for 8 months. He was my soul dog. Currently, I dont have any pets at home, but my home is well suited for any dog, small to large. I only host one dog at a time - so I can give 1:1 attention, play, and all the love they deserve. I work 10-2 pm M, T, W and will be away

Information Radhika V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pup has any special needs or behavioral challenges that I should be cognizant of. Let's schedule a free 10min consultation to talk about your dog's needs and behaviors, their likes and dislikes, their fears and triggers. The more I know about your dog, the better we connect and spend time merrily. And mostly STRESS-FREE.
A typical day
I can play fetch, tug, hide ‘n seek, nose work, or just gentle massages or any such activities that your pooch appreciates. If your dogs know obedience and tricks, you can let me know the hand signals and verbal cues and I can practice them. This helps in consolidating the behavior. If some training is required, I can also train them at an additional charge depending on the behavior issue. For further enquires you can message me on Rover!!

I am a Positive reinforcement dog trainer and believe that walks should be stress-free and calming for dogs. To achieve that, rightful use of tools and techniques should be used. I advocate for anti-pull tools like a front-clip harness or head halter; and for the non-pullers back-clip harness. Alongside walks, I encourage sniffing and mental activities to tire the dog out. I carry treats on me on walks to get the best behavior and to avoid any trouble behaviors. Of course, we shall first discuss what is your pup’s favorite ones and talk about any allergies.
